Beside of its historical beautiful story, Chateau Purcari is a really important theme due to its capability to involve its visitors into an annual circuit. One of the most inspiring characteristics is the location of Chateau Purcari, very strategic and very romantic. In the far-way plan it has the Black Sea and in the close plan we find the Nistru River, a very picturesque area located in the South-Est of the country, with a remarkable potential developed over years. The value of its location leads to great challenges for valorification and highlighting those perspective directions. The way that Chateau Purcari could transmit to visitors sensations, emotions stimulated by taste, smell, sound or spectacular view (due to its close and far away perspective plans) should represent a great way to increase its touristic attractivity and to develop a progressive cyclic annual circuit. Based on the wine study that I`ve made, the Hamvas`s Bella philosophy’s inspired me the most. His philosophy says that between the base elements of wine and the spiritual component of people there is a strong connection. The project is inspired from those characteristics, such as: the planet of wine is Saturn, the day of wine is Saturday, the color is black, the associated metal is lead, its sound is `H` and its number is 3. Saturn is the symbol for paradisiacal primordial order, that inspired the interior yard with the route similar to the Saturn rings. This planet is strong connected to the number 3, which represents the symbol of measure. This is precisely why is connected to wine, because it lifts the humanity over the entire agitated word, only to rearrange him into the calm of cosmic world. The tertiary ramification of the stair from the centre of the yard is based on the 3 archaic liquids. Water is the primordial element, from which we were borne and the waterline is the symbol for the great passage. First, water gets into wine and then, wine become blood. Wine is the soul, and wine transforms into blood, which is the symbol of our spirit. From matter to soul, from soul to spirit, this is the double transubstantiation.
